About this source

What it is

This is a LibriVox volunteer audio reading of Mashi and Other Stories, a 1918 collection of short stories by Rabindranath Tagore, a popular Bengali writer. The recording is read by a volunteer, not by Tagore.

Why it matters

The stories show Tagore's skill as a short-story writer alongside his fame as a poet. They give insight into his observations of people and society in Bengal during his lifetime.

Look closer

  • What might short stories reveal about Tagore's view of ordinary people's lives?
  • Why do you think volunteers today still choose to record his older works?
  • How does listening to a story differ from reading it on the page?
